#levels

We’re all in the same game, just different levels. Dealing with the same hell, just different devils.

“When will the FS federations learn the lesson and stop hyping pre-teens/juniors/novices so much and naming them the next olympic champion, when they haven’t even finished growing and developing physically. Yes, I’m looking at you, Rusfed, and don’t get me started on the USFSA. I have no clue how they’re gonna fix the Alysa Liu problem, that was some big PR campaign gone to waste.”

“For some reason, the higher up the ranks, the more boring and warhorsey do the music choices get. Rika is a shining exception to the rule tho.”

“I can’t believe how selfish some people are being, whining about competitions being cancelled when almost the entire northern hemisphere is a huge COVID-19 hotspot. Like, read a book or learn to knit or go on YouTube, nobody has to put their life at risk, just because you’re bored and want to watch skating.”

It’s finally here…
.
Thank you…

The day is finally here. This project has come a long way. A journey through my mind during one of the lowest times in my life. A journey through grief. These 7 tracks were experimental and personal, some different, unusual for someone like me. (I’d like to believe.)
.
I still remember those cold winter nights and cold winter evenings…heading to the studio not expecting much…I had written lyrics, a melody and a beat with an idea.
.
Do I feel ready? No…are you expecting anything? I’d be lying if I said no…but this EP is beyond what I want…this EP became what I needed to get over the year.
.
I came into this with no expectations, I just wanted to make music and really mean it, while stepping out of my comfort zone. Create a story, create a vision, create someone who people don’t recognize, someone who can handle hits and the blow. Not a shield, but an armour I can proudly show.
.
What next? I’m not even sure. I just wanna live in the moment. I don’t want to worry about the future. I’d like to take this moment and just soak it in, let this EP marinate and when I’m ready…continue.
.
I want to give thanks to everyone who helped me make this a reality, to the producers I’ve spoken to over the internet and to my engineer who became mi hermano and was there every step of the way. Shout outs to my familia y'all know who you are, for all the support going into this. I can’t thank you enough. I want to give a personal shout out to the muse which started this…thank you for the memories and the inspiration.
.
Come what may…like I mentioned before, I don’t know what’s to come from this. But I know you’ll catch a glimpse of what goes on in my head creatively. This project was a form of therapy for me and every time I went into the booth the session began. A year in the making. Ideas throw around, no real heading but just one objective, take a chance, take that leap of faith, no regrets. I feel like I’ve accomplished that. The need to release these tracks, this EP, this journal, this Letter of bottled up emotions in music form. Was great. I needed an outlet.

.

Without further ado I present to you my first EP (hopefully not the last) please enjoy and feel free to fully emerge yourself into each song…one last thank you to you for reading this for giving it a chance, for giving me a chance. 

.

Gracias por todo, gracias por la oportunidad y gracias por otro dia vivo. God is good. God is great.

Sincerely, Fuego Blanc.
